Won't be able to make https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Aotearoa_New_Zealand_Online/24 edit

Kia ora, Just letting you know that I won't be attending the Wikipedia Aotearoa Meetup on the 29 May as I'm away at the WANZ committee strategy day. I've forwarded your email on to all of the Committee members so they can read about the project and have the opportunity to support the grant application. Do go along as there will be some attendees still coming along. Einebillion (talk) 01:53, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Moving the upcoming Aotearoa New Zealand Meetup to the 5th of June edit

Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that it was decided to move the upcoming Aotearoa user group meeting to the 5th of June. Many of the attendees will be at the committee strategy meeting that weekend and so in order to ensure good attendance we agreed to shift the date of the meeting. Hopefully this means you will be able to attend and tell us more about the grant application! Ambrosia10 (talk) 18:10, 7 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, @Ambrosia10 will definitely head along on the 9th.Cheers! Jetaynz (talk) 00:27, 9 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

ESEAP 2022 edit

Just wanted to let you know that your work on wikipedia in the classroom was mentioned at the Wikipedia In the Classroom project update. So lovely to see New Zealand represented. See: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/ESEAP_SYD_2022_Session_H1

In the WOW2022 conference, prior to ESEAP, there was an additional discussion about wikipedia use in the classroom including use of resources developed by Canberra University staff for the digital literacy curriculum. Thought you might be interested to see the resources. See Six fact-checking lessons for kids

Thanks for the update @Einebillion. The University of Canberra project looks interesting and I will follow that up. Hope you had a good time at both conferences! Look forward to hearing more about them. Cheers Jetaynz (talk) 01:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
